There are three location types for a warehouse at Inventory Ahead.
Type #1: Address
Type #2: Warehouse
Type #3: 3’rd Party Warehouse
Below is an explanation of the differences between these location types.
Type #1: Address
This is just a warehouse address, there is no actual warehouse behind this address. You can not track inventory at this location. If you use this location when sending orders to customers or when making an FBA shipment, this address will be on the label, but you are actually deducting inventory from a different warehouse.
Type #2: Warehouse
This is the typical warehouse where you are tracking inventory from. You will receive here purchase orders, send out your orders, and your FBA shipments.
Type #3: 3’rd Party Warehouse
This location is used when a different company keeps your inventory. When an order comes in, the 3’rd Party warehouse will send out the order from their warehouse.
Now, you can go ahead and set up your locations.
